@DermotKennedy My chronically ill daughter is going to miss your gig at the O2 on the 5th June (again). She’s fighting for her life in hospital (again) with #intestinalfailure caused by #hEDS, #MCAS and #POTS and all she talks about is missing your concert.

Can I ask the #EDS, #hEDS, #MCAS, #POTS and #chronicallyill communities to pray for my daughter. She is in total intestinal failure on artificial feeding with multiple infections, starvation ketosis and many more complications. 🙏🙏🙏

Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least that’s how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.

#politicslive So hard to watch @lisanandy saying she seeks to improve the lives of disabled people when she knows damn well that this despicable bill will ensure that thousands will be pushed into abject poverty and many will die.

You utter plonker! You genuinely haven’t got a clue. I have a disabled daughter. I actually understand what’s going on. Do some work and educate yourself. #TakingthePIP

Labour MP Vicky Foxcroft has resigned as a whip over the government's plans to cut disability benefits
In a letter to the PM, she understood the need to address ‘the ever-increasing welfare bill’ but that cuts to personal independence payments & universal credit should ‘not be part of the solution’

This entitled and sanctimonious prat needs to start talking about dealing with the huge levels of fraud carried out by his ‘honourable friends’ in falsified MP’s expenses regularly claimed by the rabble around him.

Having spent my career before entering Parliament tackling fraud, I commend @leicesterliz for her leadership with the biggest ever crack down on benefits fraud.
My question to @AndrewHWestern about the success of whistleblower reward schemes, and how they could be used in the benefits system to recover more funds for those who genuinely need it👇

Last time I checked, it wasn't asylum seekers that looted Britain's pension funds, illegally sacked entire workforces, cut benefits for the disabled or pushed the NHS waiting list up to eight million

Has anyone else had issues with the black tyres on a Pride I-Go plus #electricwheelchair trashing carpets by gradually turning them black? The manufacturer @pridemobility not remotely interested and referred me to the supplier as my contract was with them! #mobility #disability

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.
It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.
If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.
Did you know about it? No?

Please Repost if you support them.

Planning to approach BBC Panorama to do an investigation into the appalling NHS care for #EDS #MCAS #POTS sufferers in the UK after my daughter was seriously harmed by a well known London hospital. If you have had a bad experience in the UK, please get in touch and please share.

Apparently, it’s perfectly OK for her to operate in patients’ mouths, but not operate a vehicle. Notification process has no option to say the implant is a replacement, not a new implant. She hasn’t been defibbed for 8 years so is completely safe to drive

Would #AmericanEnglish speakers please help me to understand the different meaning in the US of the verb 'GRAFT'. Here in the UK, it means to work (usually work especially hard). A grafter is therefore a hard worker. I understand that in the US, it is a little different.
